# Mining Breakeven & Profitability Calculator

> Mining Breakeven & Profitability Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Computes daily and monthly BTC/USD revenue, power costs, net profit, margin, break-even electricity price, break-even BTC price, and optional hardware payback days for an ASIC miner model or raw hashrate/wattage specification.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability mining-breakeven-profitability-calculator-208a3645
```

Example prompt: Can you calculate the daily and monthly profitability for an Antminer S21 miner at an electricity price of $0.07 per kWh, including how many days it would take to pay back $3,500 in hardware costs?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a detailed, multi-metric profitability and break-even analysis for a specific Bitcoin ASIC miner model or a custom hashrate/wattage configuration. It is ideal for pre-purchase hardware evaluations, ongoing operational cost monitoring, or sensitivity analysis around electricity prices and BTC price thresholds. Prefer this over generic crypto profitability calculators when you need itemized cost/revenue breakdowns and break-even figures in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid miner model ID returns an error — use GET /mining/asics to retrieve valid model IDs
- Missing required combination: must supply either 'model' or both 'th_s' and 'watts'
- Negative or zero electricity price may produce mathematically undefined break-even results
- Pool fee outside 0–100 range returns a validation error
- Hardware cost provided without a valid miner spec returns an error

## How this service works

ASIC-miner break-even and profitability: daily and monthly BTC and USD revenue, power cost, net profit, margin, the break-even electricity price and the break-even BTC price, and optional hardware payback days, for a named miner model or raw hashrate and wattage at a given electricity price. Informational, not advice.

## Output

Returns daily and monthly BTC and USD revenue, electricity power cost, net profit, profit margin percentage, break-even electricity price (USD/kWh), break-even BTC price (USD), and optionally hardware payback days — all calculated for the specified miner model or raw hashrate/wattage input at the given electricity price.
